Quality Neuromuscular Disorder Care for You or Your Loved Ones

There are many different types of neuromuscular disorders, most of which require some level of homecare and support. Neuromuscular conditions are complex because they can affect both motor skills and cognition. 

The types of neuromuscular disorders that our Carers can support include:

  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
  • Motor Neurone Disease
  • Spinal and Duchenne muscular dystrophy
  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (or Lou Gehrig’s Disease)

Specialist care requirements may vary between different conditions and from person to person, based on their symptoms. That’s why we define personalised care plans for each individual, whatever their neuromuscular condition may be.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes neuromuscular disorders?

Many neuromuscular disorders are inherited or caused by a gene mutation. An affected individual might have no family history of a similar condition.

 

Neuromuscular conditions may stem from autoimmune or hormonal disorders, or even/perhaps a viral infection. But, in many cases, unknown factors can play a big part in leading to a condition. 

 

Whatever the cause, the important thing is it’s vital to find manageable ways to adjust to the various symptoms and effects. Our specialist Care Professionals can help.

What are common symptoms of neuromuscular disorders?

We understand that neuromuscular conditions can have a varied impact on the lives of our Clients.

 

Symptoms and effects of neuromuscular disorders are not always consistent.

 

This is why it’s important for our Carers to work with you to come up with an individual care plan that meets the Client’s needs.

 

However, some common MS symptoms and effects associated with other neuromuscular diseases can include:

  • Muscle wastage
  • Muscular weakness
  • Muscle pain
  • Muscular spasticity
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Difficulty breathing

These symptoms can make it difficult for people with MS, or those living with muscular dystrophy to live independent lives. That’s why our homecare services focus on physical support and help with neuromuscular disorders management. 

What treatments are available for neuromuscular disorders?

For many neuromuscular disorders, progressive muscle weakness is an unavoidable symptom of the condition. In these cases, there is no specific cure. However, ongoing physical therapy can reduce (and even reverse) some of the impacts of MS, MD and other disorders.

 

Our team of specialist homecare professionals will define a care plan to suit your treatment regime. With input from local healthcare professionals, we support our Clients through ongoing treatment, adjusting the level of care we provide accordingly.

How can exercise improve neuromuscular connections?

For certain neuromuscular disorders, physiotherapy and exercise can play an important role in preventing muscle wastage and reducing pain. 

 

Our team of Carerscan help you or your loved one with transport to appointments and physical therapy sessions.
